here. look in this box and what can i see. a life in a fence is waiting for me. due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. an inmate finds himself on the wrong end of a vicious attack.
10:01 pm
>> i got hit with a tray and that's all that happened. >> another inmate with a reputation for violence keeps staff on constant alert. >> there was blood on the walls, floors, all over the inmates. >> while a seemingly bright future awaits trial for first-degree murder. the jail takes steps to keep young members from joining the ranks. >> boston, massachusetts, has long been a city associated with higher learning. but many of the residents find themselves on a less productive
10:02 pm
path. every year more than 12,000 people are brought through the doors of the city's suffolk county jail after being arrested. >> all the way up, lift your tongue up. >> the intake center is located at one of the jail's two facilities. the nashua street jail. >> this ain't walsh street. this ain't bourbon street. it sure ain't rodeo drive. this is nashville street. >> the new arrivals have not been convicted of the crimes for which they were arrested and considered innocent until proven guilty. >> good morning. >> those who are not quickly released or bailed out will be housed at nashua until their cases are closed. and every year, thousands of men and women undergo a demanding application process to secure and manage inmates while they're in jail.
10:03 pm
less than 1% will make it to the final stage, cadet training. >> there was 40 people, 40 candidates that were brought into this academy class. there were upwards of 10,000 applications for the job. >> the cadets must pass a series of difficult tests to become suffolk county jail deputies. >> we teach them everything from combatives which is defensive tactics to firearms, to first aid, fire safety, approximately 40 different components of what they do. this morning, we're going to do some defensive tactics training. they have some ground defense where we've brought in some ground defense experts from another county along with our own people. >> you don't want to wind up on the ground. you want want to be in an altercation, but when that happens, you want to be able to deal with it and be able to come out in the end and go home and see your family. that's what's going to get you out.
10:04 pm
the explosiveness allows your hips to get through there. ready? explode. recover. >> among the current class of 40 cadets is 23-year-old abrianna spagnolli. >> there isn't very many women working for the department right now. but, you know, it isn't too much pressure, but you do want to, you know, stand proud and do everything the men can do even better if possible. >> this man is also a cadet. >> i never thought i'd once be a correctional officer. i always knew i wanted to help people and try to rehabilitate people. growing up in a neighborhood where i grew up, i've seen a lot of friends go take the wrong road in life. i always wanted to do something to be a positive role model. >> trying to keep people prepared, being able to deal with situations that may arise.
10:05 pm
>> three, two, one. >> i look at it as the sword sharp. >> ready, go. recover. >> by the end of their training, the cadets must be prepared to deal with the jail's most dangerous inmates like 25-year-old devon gallop. gallop is housed four miles away from the nashua street jail in the house of correction. a facility that holes up to 1,900 inmates who have been convicted of their crimes and are serving sentences of 2 1/2 years or less. >> devon has been coming to our building since he turned 18 years old, and he's been with us pretty much for most of that time. >> attempting to strip searched the inmate. he did turn around and come at staff.
10:06 pm
>> he's one of those inmates that when he comes back into the institution, he's basically don't pass go, he goes to right to segregation until we can speak with him. and to see where his head is at and what he wants to do. >> placed on the floor, placed in restraints. was making threats to the staff at that time. and was put in restraints. >> gallop's behavior has prompted several cell extractions from the sheriff's emergency response team or sert. for legal reasons, they are required to videotape all interactions with inmates. >> he is discuss's angry and aggressive to staff. he makes weapons all the time. he'll make weapons out of anything he can get his hands on. he had contraband that includes the plastic dinner trays that we give him when he's had seg. he pulls it apart. >> we identified that his fingers were extremely long in length. they were shaped into arrowheads. we told him his nails were going
10:07 pm
to be cut. and he refused to allow us to cut them. i explained if he did not comply and allow us to cut his nails to a reasonable length, then we would have to do it manually. he decided he was not going to comply and allow us to do it, so we had to place him on the ground and manually cut his nails one at a time. >> i don't always use weapons, but when i do use them, it's like i feel good sometimes. feel like i got my point across that i'm not playing with you. i'm not here to play with you. fighting doesn't get the job done. you heal up, i don't want you to heal up that way. i'd rather you not just fight and you can live with the bruises. i like to rather just leave you scars.
10:08 pm
>> gallop is housed in the administrative segregation unit. in order to minimize his contact with other inmates, he's in a single-man cell and even takes his recreation time alone. gallop is currently serving two years for the distribution of narcotics. he also has an open case for assault with a deadly weapon, to which he has pled not guilty. but his reputation at suffolk county stems from a prior conviction against an inmate during an earlier stay here. >> when he was sitting down i was like, maybe i could take the mirror off. i started playing with it and i learned how to take it apart. i ran into another kid's cell and stabbed him. >> the inmate was stabbed 19 times. >> myself and the staff responded. as we entered the unit, we observed the cell door was wide open. and when we got down there, he was inside the cell and stabbing the inmate that was inside the
10:09 pm
cell with a manufactured weapon that he had made. there was blood on the walls, on the floor. all over both inmates. >> the victim survived the attack. >> i believe that he enjoyed the notoriety that came behind what he had done. it sends a message to the staff as well as other inmates. >> i'm not the nastiest. i'm just a regular person like i said. you're going to hear from other people like i'm some different, but i'm just a regular person here trying to maintain. but you know, sometimes things go the opposite way. coming up, devon faces a shakedown. >> [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> just let us search your cell, all right? >> and a group of youngsters face a harsh reality of jail life. >> open the door! open the door! open the door. and commitment is not limited to one's military oath. the same set of values that drive our nation's military

10:12 pm
10:13 pm
boston suffolk county jailhouses 700 detainees accused of a variety of crimes. from minor infractions to dangerous felonies. even though they have not been convicted and are here awaiting the resolution of their cases, tensions can still run high and a calm day can turn violent without warning. a fight on the six two unit has landed 20-year-old alex gonzalez in the jail's infirmary. >> i got hit with a tray. i fought back and that's all that happened. >> after reviewing footage, jail staff learned just how brutal the fight actually was. >> what we see here is mr. alex gonzalez. mr. gonzalez has just received
10:14 pm
his food tray and he's ready to sit down and have dinner. and what we also see is this is detainee darrel couch. he's entering the food line here. one of the interesting things with mr. couch, you notice the routine has been to grab a cup of juice along with the food tray. mr. couch doesn't grab any juice because his intention is not to sit down to a meal. touches the day, just rammed it right into his face. right into the orbital socket. and was immediately punching him with everything he could get, several times slams to the ground. one time had him in a reverse head lock and drove his head into the floor. >> what our protocols in the sheriff's department calls for is the officer waits for backup before breaking up the fight so as to the not to endanger himself. as soon as he sees the entry of the team, he's moving to break up that fight. there they do, and they remove the combatants, separate them fairly quickly.
10:15 pm
>> gonzalez who is awaiting trial on an armed assault charge to which he's pled not guilty was immediately taken to the jail infamary for treatment of his injuries to his right eye and head. >> did you get any good swings? >> i don't know. i tried. i was hurt. he got me good with the tray. >> while the attack on gonzalez was severe, it was prompted by a seemingly minor matter. >> that fight actually occurred because alex gonzalez owed darrel couch money for chess losses. apparently they were paying chess, alex lost, owed money for the losses, refused to pay, started a fight. >> the jail's medical staff is determined that gonzalez' injuries are serious enough that he should receive additional treatment at a nearby hospital. he will be handcuffed and escorted by sheriff deputies to the emergency room. >> this is what happens in jail.
10:16 pm
this is what happens. i didn't do it, so you've got to expect it to happen. >> gonzalez recovered from his injuries, and his attacker was given 17 days in segregation for starting the fight. finding themselves on the wrong end of such a brutal attack is usually the biggest fear of inmates who have just arrived in jail for the first time. >> there are some inmates who come here that they've never been locked up before and they come here, and it is a scary place. and it's those individuals that you tend to be more concerned about because they're sort of lost and they are so young. >> such is the case for 19-year-old sherman badgett. >> i know i'm a good kid. i do what i got to do. go to school, had a job out there, take care of my family. >> he was arrested as a high school student and has been detained without bail at nashua street for nearly a year while he awaits trial.
10:17 pm
>> never thought i'd be in a position like this. i missed a lot. i missed a lot. my girl's birthday, my mother's birthday, grandmother's birthday. i'm about to miss everything. >> if convicted, badgett faces a 25 to life sentence on a charge of first-degree murder. he has pled not guilty. >> sherman badgett is torn between two worlds. do i want to do the right thing? do i want to excel academically? make my family proud? or do i want to do what my peers are doing in the neighborhood? what's right and what's wrong? he seems conflicted between the two worlds. >> badgett is accused of shooting and killing another student during a high school dance. he denies being the shooter.
10:18 pm
>> fight broke out, somebody was waving a gun in the gym. basically everybody started running from the gym. then you hear three shots. the friend in front of the door, he got shot once, it only took one shot. that's all it takes. >> authorities could not immediately identify the shooter. badgett was arrested nine months later while he sat in a high school classroom. >> it was the u.s. marshal that came and picked me up. brought me to the homicide unit, started questioning me, saying you're being charged with first-degree murder, then i came here. >> sherman was attending a special magnet school for gifted and talented children who excelled in math and science. his school was concerned he wasn't going to be able to finish out his school year and they wanted him to graduate and get a diploma from their school.
10:19 pm
so i worked closely with the headmaster. we brought work in for sherman. he did it thoroughly and rapidly without any help. and we sent the work back to his school and shortly thereafter they mailed him his diploma. it was very special. >> since receiving his diploma, badgett spends his time studying his case work for an upcoming trial that is still more than eight months away. >> wednesday's my birthday, my 20th birthday. i'll be 20 years old on my first birthday being in here. hopefully i'll be out before my 21st birthday. coming up -- the cadets meet the inmates for the first time. >> hands behind your backs, palms up. so do four boys from boston. ain. then i tried this. it's salonpas. this is the relief i've been looking for. salonpas has 2 powerful pain fighting ingredients that work for up to 12 hours. and my pharmacist told me it's the only otc pain patch approved for sale
10:20 pm
using the same rigorous clinical testing that's required for prescription pain medications. proven. powerful. safe. salonpas. fiber one. uh, forgot jack's cereal. [ jack ] what's for breakfast? um... try the number one! [ jack ] yeah, this is pretty good. [ male announcer ] half a day's worth of fiber. fiber one.
10:21 pm
[ jack ] yeah, this is pretty good. over time, my lashes thinned. after 40, i didn't have enough lashes. i'd heard of latisse® but had questions. my doctor said... latisse® is the only fda approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough lashes. now with latisse® my lashes are longer, darker, with more than double the fullness in 16 weeks. if you are using or have used, prescription products for eye pressure problems, use latisse® under close doctor care. latisse® use may cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. eyelid skin darkening may occur which may be reversible. if you experience eye problems or have eye surgery, consult your doctor. common side effects include itchy eyes and eye redness. i trust latisse® and i use it too.
10:22 pm
my lashes changed as i got older. now i use latisse®. more than double the fullness in 16 weeks. are your lashes thinning as you get older? why wait? ask your doctor about latisse® from allergan, a company with 60 years of eye care expertise. at the suffolk county jail in boston, the new class of 40
10:23 pm
cadets are about to get their first experience of direct inmate interaction as part of their training to become jail deputies. among them are kareem mallard abrioll aspag nole. >> we're going to go down to the unit for a shakedown. make sure you have your protective gloves on and verbalize what you want from these people. inmates will only allow you to do what they're allowed to do. if there's any issues, contact one of us. if there's any questions, contact one of us. is that clear? questions? all right. >> a shakedown is a little bit different from a room search whereas you actually handcuff the inmate, bring them out of the room, search the room with a three-person team. >> forward, march. >> and then at the end of it, they get stripped search and placed back inside their room so you can be virtually assured the room is clean.
10:24 pm
>> sir, stand up, please. >> hands behind your back, palms up. >> behind your back. >> looking for nuisance contraband. health and wellness type thing, milk, food they might have taken off the feeding line. also looking for contraband, weapons, drugs, anything like that. >> in the pocket. >> guys, make sure all that milk comes out because you don't know how long it's been there for. >> so far, we've been in here for about, what, 15 minutes and this is as far as i got. so it's like you want to get every inch. i'm breaking a sweat, so i feel better taking my time and finding something or not even finding something than rushing through it and overlooking four or five things. >> they did very well. they did what they were trained to do. they've been doing an outstanding job. >> shakedowns like these will become commonplace should the officer candidates make it as jail deputies.
10:25 pm
>> every day we conduct random cell searches that are computer generated. however, in addition to those we do targeted cell searches based upon our prior knowledge of inmates, based on intelligence we might gather throughout the facility that contraband might be present. >> today, the sheriffs emergency response team or sert is focused on an inmate with a history of assaultive behavior. >> we're about to go into our 1-5-2 segregation unit for contraband inside devon gallop's cell. >> back away from the door. >> inmate gallop is known for making weapons. usually doesn't go too many days without trying to manufacture something. you know, periodically every couple of weeks we'll take the opportunity to search his cell. and most times it's lucrative. >> i know they're coming. i can hear them. i know what cell they're coming to. they're not coming for nobody else but my cell. [ bleep ] [ bleep ].
10:26 pm
>> just let us search your cell, all right? >> they just refer to me as someone who causes trouble. probably don't trust me, probably always think i got a weapon on me at all times. >> because creative inmates can turn almost anything into a weapon, deputies must be especially vigilant. during his six years as one of the jail's senior investigators, jonathan spinelli has amassed a significant collection of inmate-made weapons. >> this piece of evidence is a wall plate and this is a piece of metal but this can be filed down to a very sharp point. an inmate could use this as a cutting instrument where they could use it as a knife or some sort of sharp instrument to cut them in the throat, the face. these are metal rods filed down, most likely this looks like it was part maybe of a chair or the heating vents. they have these slats on the heating vents they can rip them off of.
10:27 pm
that's pretty common. you can carry this and no one would know it's in your possession. you can walk out of your cell with it and stab somebody with it, stab an officer with it. >> the ingenuity behind some weapons is almost beyond belief. >> this is a paint ball. it's very hard, probably about very similar to a small rock. and what inmates do with this is they chip the paint off the walls and they stick it in a container and they heat the water and they soften the paint too with it and makes it very pliable and they can use it and round it into a ball such as this. and what they would do with this then is drop this into a sock and they could make some sort of weapon out of it. it's an extremely difficult substance once it's molded together and dries and hardens. they're very difficult to break. if you will take this and if you were using this as a sock, you could -- and again -- with the significant amount of force i slammed it against the desk here, it didn't break, it didn't even chip it.
10:28 pm
>> this time, no weapons have been found in gallop's stuff. >> keep your hands over your head. stand up, face the window the whole time. >> i don't know why i act up sometimes. it's like sometimes i just get bored. i look for excitement. i just look for somebody, you know, some attention sometimes is why i act up sometimes. i'm going to get the sert team and have them come up here in for no reason. it's excitement sometimes. >> shirt, pants. >> i think anybody would be lying if they didn't say when they come to work everybody knows that the threat is always there, the possibility of being injured is there. and that's why we can't be complacent. we have to continue to be very vigilant at what we do. you know, the majority of us do a very good job at that. we only have each other to look out for so -- coming up -- >> pick up your feet and move. >> four boys learn what it means to be an inmate. >> is this where you want to go? look around.
10:29 pm
>> and sherman badgett gets a special visit. >> i'm just glad that i seen her on my birthday. i do remember sitting down with my boys, and i'm like, "oh, promise mommy you'll never ever pick up a cigarette." i had to quit. ♪ my doctor gave me a prescription for chantix, a medication i could take and still smoke, while it built up in my system. [ male announcer ] chantix is a non-nicotine pill proven to help people quit smoking. it reduces the urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some of these can be life-threatening.

10:32 pm
>> due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. the deputies who manage the day-to-day operation of boston's suffolk county jail have
10:33 pm
numerous responsibilities that all fall under one primary goal. safely securing the men and women who are incarcerated here. >> are you all right? >> but jail officials also put resources into keeping young people from ending up here in the first place. >> because jail is glamorized so much in film and music and other places, they really don't have any idea what it's actually like. and this shows them what it is actually like. >> today, four boys ranging in age from 12 to 16 have just arrived at the jail for a visit. all four have had run-ins with the law. >> everybody stand up. >> deputy justin plaza heads up the program known as jailbreak. >> jailbreak is geared towards kids that are headed towards -- in the wrong direction. >> put these uniforms on over your clothes, hurry up. >> not doing the right thing, making bad choices, and we bring
10:34 pm

sister and i explained it to her that, you know, when i make a promise, i'm going to keep my promise. and i promised sherman that no matter what i'm going to always be there for him. >> you're allowed one brief emblaise. remain seated. there's no kissing allowed. >> my sister was upset, but she came to understand that it is what it is. i already made a promise, so it's going to happen. >> the jail does not normally allow contact visits for detainees, but due to filming restrictions in the visiting room, they set aside an area to accommodate our cameras. >> okay. okay then. >> hey. >> hi. >> what's up, man? >> how you doing? happy birthday. >> how long's it been? >> a year. >> oh, my god. >> and you didn't even write me for like -- >> a month. >> more than that.

targets from various distances. >> you know the deal, all right? >> i shot 26 rounds. three outside the target. so i can only have two outside the target, so i can make up two rounds by one outside. what i'm going to do is go back there and just shoot twice from the farthest away and have to get it in here. if not, i have to redo the 26 rounds two more times. which i've already done once. >> cadet kareem mallard has even a greater challenge, he missed four times and must now be

perfect to avoid retaking the course. >> take your time for me, all right? here we go. >> police, don't move. >> don't move! gun! >> all right. in front of your target. >> i don't know. >> got it. >> thanks. >> all right. >> means i can carry a gun for the suffolk county sheriff department, right? >> but mallard was not quite as accurate. he only landed two out of the four shots in the target. >> wednesday, you'll be coming back, okay? very frustrating. very frustrating.

today is her first day on the job after months of training. >> sometimes during a daily basis, you're not going to use a lot of the training we received. so the standard thing is to keep that in the back of your head in case you do need to use it. >> while he may not hold the reputation of a hardened criminal, 19-year-old sherman badgett is facing a charge of first-degree murder for an alleged shooting. since coming to jail, he has participated in a bible study with pastor timothy young who knew badgett on the outside. >> you've got to be involved in your life. >> he's a very likable individual. he has a smile that will light up a room. if you spend any amount of time with him at all, sherman will have you smiling. >> what's it been like?
